I really should have Mommy write tonight. Since it was Mother's Day, C.J. spent the day with her while she spent the day with her mother. That left Daddy alone but he was with his mother. If it is one thing Daddy does recognize is the power of the maternal relationship in the life of any child. I know my relationship with my mother is a good one. I still call her Mommy. I had to prepare myself to make C.J.'s mommy the number one lady in my life when I got married. My mother has always been there for me. She supported, and still supports me, in anything I do, great or poor. She also knows how to keep a secret from my father. Come to think of it, if that is what mothers do, I need to break C.J. and her Mommy up, lol.
I respect mothers and praise them for all they do. The sermon today talked about being a praying mother. Daddy has one and I know C.J. has one, too. They pray daily and always praise God for their children. So today as I reflect on motherhood, I have to salute C.J.'s mommy. She has only been a mommy for nine months, but has learned so much and continues to grow, as I let her know today she is doing a fantastic job as a mother and C.J. is lucky to have her. I will always hold these days in my heart where they hug, kiss, and cuddle. This is so when they argue, fuss, and fight in the future, they have a point of reference of when times were filled with joy! Now I am not wishing a chaotic household, but as I have witnessed with my own sisters and I have heard from my wife, sometimes mommies and daughters do not see eye to eye, and the hormones have to be released. That is why God blessed them both with a husband and a Daddy to keep the peace, or as I would say, comfort C.J. and save her from her Mommy because she is Daddy's little girl. Then I will talk with Mommy and let her know I am on her side once we send C.J. to her room. Before any of you say it, this is not being manipulative, this is being smart. I have to make sure I am in good graces with each of them before they try to form a crew and take over my castle, lol!
So today was great. Everyone had the time available to spend with their mother. Now we start the countdown to Father's Day. I think I am going to get a shirt made that simply says, I AM C.J.'s DADDY! I know I am crazy, so pray for me please. We all know that prayer changes things, people, and situations. We also know that it is the only thing that can help C.J.'s daddy!
